Do you find you hurt more at night

My stomach seems to swell more at night and my lower abdomen and pelvic area just ache everytime I move. I just had a tah 3 wks ago.

Absolutely! Especially when I do not properly rest during the day, like the stolen cat nap here or there. I also tend to be more hormonal under the same conditions.

Me too! Still at 10 weeks post op I have a swelly belly and aches by the evening. And as if it weren't hard enough to sleep sometimes, these symptoms make it even harder.

I will say that it is much better now than it was in the beginning, so you have hope. It will get better with time. Just remember to listen to your body and pace yourself in your daily activities. Don't forget to Pamper the Princess!

Take care,
Paula

EmilyRose....I am only 4 weeks post-op, but still have a swollen belly during the day and can barely button my pants. I actully unbutton them while in the car. I do hurt and ache like clockwork around 6 every evening.

Blessings,
Rose

Absolutely! I notice the days I do more I am more sore that night. But when I wake up I feel good. I would only worry if I felt worse in the morning. Good Luck it is normal. Not to scare you but I am 5.3 weeks today and I hve feel more sore at night than I did at 2 1/2 weeks. I do think it is because I am doing more.

YES,YES,YES, I am 11 weeks and still swell and very tender belly. By night, I put my nightgown and heating pad on, recline and watch tv.

yes, I thought it was just me. I am 15 days today. I hope you feel better soon.

yes, I feel worse at nite. My belly swells and I hurt all over. My swelly belly gets hard too. I am fluffy, so the swelling just hardened up the fluff. Thats what hurts so much. If I do absolutly nothing all day is not as bad, but if i do anything..wash my hair, do dishes,make dinner, I hurt. My dh thinks I'm nuts, because I want to get back to normal,so I try doing stuff and the next day I just want to lay on the couch.

Me too hipchick! I want so much to get back to normal...but normal did not include needing a nap after a shower!

Emilyrose, I think it's normal to feel more sore at the end of the day. Figure all day we're getting up and down to get soemthing to drink, eat, pee, whatever. Throw in a few dropped items and... However, i haven't gotten out of my comfy clothes. Everything I wear is stuff I used to use for "lazy days" around the house. Now they are considered my clothes.

I felt that way for the first 4 weeks and then the 5th week I realized that although I was still tossing and turning I was not feeling the pains. It does get easier, I slept with a soft pillow under my stomach and when I turned the pillow went with me from side to side. I always needed my ibuprofen at bedtime too. From all the posts you are right where we all were or are. Get your rest and you will notice improvement. One day at a time sistergirl ! 2up2dpwn 48y.o.TAH BSO all gone
